Perhaps the most interesting reply to yesterdays diary illuminates best the fact that Resolution 12, and those behind it, are not going away…

The Res12 originator is currently considering the decision on whether the following organisation get the report regardless of the SFA’s result, it has always been the choice of last resort but now it is being considered a moral imperative regardless of the result, however awaiting the SFA’s result is intriguing and worth following.

Away from that for a moment, and tonight sees the first competitive home game of the when alashkert roll into town hoping to overturn a three goal deficit from the first leg of the first round UCL qualifier.

With Celtic looking very sharp even this early, you’d have to say they can;t be overly optimistic.

In fact, Brendan has told his charges to play the game at the level they would if it were Paris St germain they were playing..

I think he meant with regards to the tempo.

Scott Brown is up for it. Then again, he’s always up for it;

“We’ve got to go the same way,”

“It’s still kind of pre-season for us so we’ll try to get minutes on the park and get as fit as we possibly can for our season starting. But this is a huge game for us at Celtic Park. The pitch is looking good and the fans will be there to support us so we’re looking forward to it.

“I know we’ve got a 3-0 lead but we want to create chances, score more goals and make it as comfortable as we can early doors. They came for us early doors in the first game due to the heat, so it’s going to be a different game them coming here to Celtic Park and us controlling the game.”

All about morale and confidence, and of course, if you don’t do what the boss says, you won’t be playing in the following game.

We want to get back in the Champions League,”

“We’ve done it the last two seasons but this season is going to be that bit harder with the fourth game as well. It’s going to be difficult to do and we’ll take it one game at a time but that’s our main aim.

“We’ve got a great bunch of lads and good management staff as well. The club’s going in the right direction so for us we should be pushing that as far we possibly can”.

The experience gained, and the continuity of the squad means that they should be ready for the challenge of the next few weeks, but I’m fairly sure there will be a few twists and turns before its all over.

Ask Apoel Nicosia, who were expected to overcome Suduva in their qualifier. They didn;t, and one or two other seeds, notably Red Star Belgrade and Celtic’s next possible opponents Rosenborg, both of whom are treading a fine line in their ties.

Although reallistically it doesn;t matter who wins, as the team that gets through over two legs will be the stronger of the pair, and just becuase they are a lesser name, or had a good run last season, doesn’t make any difference.

Make sure you brush your hair and clean your teeth tonight, as the police are back with their cameras trying desperately to justify their existence.

This time, they are making up the excuses as they go along, as was noted on Saturday..

Here they are filming…

Have a look at the lass on the right of the picture..

Oops…she obviously left for work all of a fluster in the morn…

But its a football match, so perhaps it doesn’t count ?

Er, no. It counts. It always counts.

The police officers , according to Superintendent John MacBride, were acting in response to an incident. Itself unusual for the police at a football match, who usually cause an incident.

“One of these officers was assaulted and both were subjected to verbal abuse. “If you don’t want police filming supporters at the game, don’t commit a crime.” Superintendent John McBride

Of course they were. It was in all the papers…

However, he was a little less forthcoming about another incident, before the game, which presumably also warranted the use of cameras…

The police have long since lost the trust of the general public, and it doesn’t look like they’ll be getting it back any time soon.

Then again, Police Scotland sounds more like an order than an organisation…

The superintendent, given his penchant for the use of video images, must have some interesting footage available after he made it public that he was aware of the annual “Boyne Parade ” , taken outside a church on the route, which would show us exactly who was spitting at and hurling abuse at the congregation.

There will be traffic disruptions in Glasgow city centre this Saturday as the annual Boyne Parade takes place. Superintendent John McBride has an important safety & travel message ahead of the event For more information on road closures, visit: https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=19741…

Must have just been a coincidence they went past a church as the mass was finishing…

Although it has to be said that the limited police presence at the march could have been down to officers booking the day off so they could enjoy a walk around the town with their mates…

Another battle which is still to be won….

Hey, here’s a thought, be real careful tonight.

If you film the crowd, or any part of the game, you could be charged with impersonating a police officer ?

Away from that, congratulations to “rangers ” who join Aberdeen in the second round of the Europa League after they eliminated Shupke 2-0 on aggregate after a brave and battling dislay of courage and endeavour in Macedonia last night.

The Scots staunchly defended their lead and refused to surrender to an onslaught from their opponents, and must be praised for punching above their weight.

Shupke have a bank account, a qualified manager and a deal in place which allows them to sell their own kits , so the achievements of Stevie G’s Hunny’s cannot be understated.

Well done.

You see, Stevie G is different, and the media , themselves no slouches, have spotted this.

David McCarthy of the Record once warned us about the perils of hiring a great player and expecting him to be a great manager…

Yet they were right about Gerrard.

How do they do it ?

And the Ibrox supporters did us proud as well, hardly abusing any young kids they came into contact with and videoing it.

There’s a video doing the rounds, but only one, to be fair, which has to be an improvement.

And the songs, oh, they are so inventive, and proud of their new tunes, which hardly mention killing and hating catholics at all…

Pressing leads to fastbreaks and fastbreaks lead to goals. How pressing can be measured using the Passes Per Defensive Action metric.

The poster is the chap who got the Res12 ball rolling. From the off, based on what was known in 2013, the suspicion was that in order to obtain a licence the SFA had to be told porkies. That suspicion has coalesced into a firm belief as result of what has been learned since 2013. If that belief were unsound I think SFA would have dismissed it rather than try to avoid investigating it as they have done by trying to focus only on RFC activity in June and September. The SFA have been given good reason to revisit the… Read more »

What was the light bulb moment that aroused your suspicions in 2013? The C.W. trials confirmed those suspicions as fact. We can assume that the C.O. report timeline has been shifted to deflect attention from the critical time, I.E. the licence application, so presumably they are trying to whitewash his report. Approaching the city of London police must be because they are the experts in this type of fraud and it removes the possibilities of any internal type of political deflection.

Suspicion was aroused long before 2013, it was being discussed on cqn since 2009/10 as the wtc was well known. Research into the best way to address it started 2012 as did the spark to do something. Finding the CFCB document was the breakthrough. After bumping my gums for most of 2011 & 2012, a late night discussion with a fellow CQN’r and the immortal line “what are you going to do about it” sparked the action.

Not a single bad display from our bhohys, even Hendry looked a lot more composed than in his last game against Standard. Pity about that arsehole referee though, as bad as they come.

What is going on at Celtic with the defence?

Don’t give me this pish about Boyata having a good World cup, that is not relevant to his Celtic performance.
Compper is a fucking dud, it’s that simple.
We are in the middle of CL qualifiers and in my opinion, we don’t have a defence!

The cha i think the coaching staff rate Hendry very highly. With Lustig back then Hendry and Ajer would be ok for the qualifiers. Boyata should be back before long its not as if he played in the big games so another week off should see him back training.I think Bitton has a longer term injury ?

Re Boy – I thought I saw somewhere that Rodgers had said WC players get 2 weeks off after they finish, which would’ve him back just before the 2nd leg but probably not match fit.

I am more interested in how Dembelle is, how bad is his injury, he came back this season as if he was up for it, fitter than last year.
Dembelle up front with French Eddy is the key to this season’s C.L. qualifiers, centre-backs are way down the pecking order, the strikers wingers, midfielders are the goal creators, I just hope that Moussa’s injury is not longer term.
